Warm-Up #2 • There are 11 Human Body organ systemsthat we will be studying this year. But before we begin learning about any of them, I want you to tell me which systems you are already aware of. As your warm-up, please write as many of the 11 organ systems that you know AND one organ that may be involved with that system…
Body Systems Review Physiology
Here they are… • Circulatory (heart, arteries, veins) • Immune or lymphatic (lymph vessels, lymph nodes, spleen) • Nervous (spinal chord, brain, nerves) • Reproductive (uterus, ovaries, testis) • Respiratory (lungs, diaphragm) • Urinary or excretory (urethra, urinary bladder, kidney) • Muscular (skeletal muscles) • Digestive (stomach, intestine) • Integumentary (skin, hair) • Skeletal (cartilage, bones, joints) • Endocrine (thyroid gland, pineal gland) “All systems are both independent & interconnected”
A Mnemonic? What is a Mnemonic (ne-mon-ic)? • A random short phrase that is used to help remember lists or facts • Ex: ROY G. BIV - tells the colors of a rainbow in their order (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) • Ex: SOHCAHTOA - helps to remember sin, cos, and tangent in geometry • MURDER IN CSI • Muscular, urinary, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, reproductive, immune (lymphatic), nervous, circulatory, skeletal, integumentary (skin)
Nervous • Nervous System • Structures: Brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves • Function: Recognizes and coordinates the body’s response to changes in its internal and external environments
Integumentary • Integumentary System • Structures: Skin, hair, nails, sweat and oil glands • Function: Serves as a barrier against infection and injury; helps to regulate body temperature; provides protection against ultraviolet radiation from the sun
Skeletal • Skeletal System • Structures: Bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons • Function: Supports the body; protects internal organs; allows movement; stores mineral reserves; provides a site for blood cell formation
Muscular • Muscular System • Structures: Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle • Function: Works with skeletal system to produce voluntary movement; helps to circulate blood and move food through the digestive system
Circulatory • Cardiovascular System • Structures: Heart, blood vessels, blood • Function: Brings oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells; fights infection; removes cell wastes; helps to regulate body temperature
Respiratory • Respiratory System • Structures: Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, lungs • Function: Provides oxygen needed for cellular respiration and removes excess carbon dioxide from the body
Digestive • Digestive System • Structures: Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, rectum • Function: Converts food into simpler molecules that can be used by the cells of the body; absorbs food; eliminates wastes
Urinary • Excretory System • Structures:kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra • Function: Eliminates waste products from the body in ways that maintain homeostasis
Endocrine • Endocrine System • Structures: Hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, pancreas, ovaries (in females), testes (in males) • Function: Controls growth, development and metabolism through hormones, maintains homeostasis
Reproductive • Reproductive System • Structures: Testes, epididymis, vas deferens, urethra, and penis (in males), ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina (in females) • Function: Produces reproductive cells; in females, nurtures and protects developing embryo
Lymphatic • Immune System • Structures: White blood cells, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, lymph vessels • Function: Helps protect the body from disease; collects fluid lost from blood vessels and returns the fluid to the circulatory system
